Due to budget constraints and increasing operating costs, the Kings County Family Resource Centre Inc., in Sussex, has made the difficult decision to temporarily close over the summer, beginning June 22, 2026 and reopening on September 9, 2026.

We continually search for additional funding and sincerely hope we will be able to secure the funding necessary to operate year-round in the future. In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming everyone back in September!

If you would like to support the Kings County Family Resource Centre in our efforts to secure additional funding, an option is to mail a letter to your local M.P. Rob Moore 599 Main St. Suite 104 Hampton, NB E5N 6C2 (no postage cost) or M.L.A. Tammy Scott-Wallace 77 Wheeler Road, Four Corners, NB E4G 2W5 and express to them your views on the importance of having access to year-round programming and services at the Kings County Family Resource Centre, Unit F, 625 Main Street, Sussex, NB E4E 7H5

We are deeply grateful for your understanding and support during this time.

Spring cleaning season is here! Before you start cleaning your shed, barn, garage, or cottage, check for signs of rodent activity, like droppings or nests.

What’s the risk? Rodents can carry hantaviruses. These infections are rare, but they can cause serious illness and may sometimes be fatal.

There are many different hantaviruses around the world. In Canada, the main hantavirus species is the Sin Nombre virus, which spreads through contact with infected rodents and their droppings, urine, or saliva. It is not known to spread from person to person, unlike the Andes hantavirus linked to the recent cluster of infections reported on a cruise ship.

When cleaning enclosed spaces where rodents may be present, take precautions to avoid breathing in virus-containing particles:

- wear gloves and a well-fitting mask
- wet the area first with a Health Canada approved disinfectant or a bleach solution
- use paper towels or a wet mop — avoid sweeping or vacuuming droppings
- double-bag droppings and nesting materials before disposal
